Bartenura
רבי יהודה מתיר – with blemishes that are in the eye, Rabbi Yehuda admits/agrees that it is prohibited, because they change after death since because of the pain of death, the eye changes and even though it appears as a permanent blemish, if it had appeared to it while living it would have appeared as a passing [blemish], and he would not permit anything other than blemishes that are on the body that do not change. But Rabbi Meir holds that we make a decree that blemishes that are on the body that do not change on account of blemishes that are in the eye that do change. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Meir.
רבי יהודה מתיר. במומין שבעין מודה רבי יהודה דאסור, מפני שהן משתנים לאחר מיתה שמפני צער מיתה העין משתנה ואע״ג דהשתא מתחזי מום קבוע אי הוי חזי ליה מחיים הוי מתחזי עובר, ולא שרי אלא במומין שבגוף שאינן משתנים. ורבי מאיר סבר גזרינן מומין שבגוף שאינן משתנים אטו מומין שבעין שהן משתנים. והלכה כרבי מאיר:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah.
